THE GREAT PEACE
It is now “after the war” again and
how splendid it is that this, the most
terrible page in the world’s history
can be turned over and a new sheet,
clean and unsullied upon which, let us
hope, no record of war and its attepd-
ing horrors may ever be inscribed, is
stow open to us. As we look back up
on the events that have transpired
during the last four years and partic
ularly in the pertod of time that we
as a nation have had a part in the
groit war, it seems almost incredible,
that so many and such great things
havp been accomplished in so short a
time. It is true that in carrying out
the war program mistakes have been
made, sonie unwillingly, others thro’
design, but on'the whole the coopera
tion of individuals and organizations
in supporting the great project has
been indeed marvelous.

CAN GROW HOGS
CHEAPER IN GEORGIA
The south -can prodftce feeder
pigb up to 126 pounds for much-less
money than the corn belt can, and tlje
custom of marketing our corn thro
iivestock is growing and will continue
to grow. Tne fact that Europe will
need meat for years to come is likely'
to make it a profitable business for a
Icng time, and in this operation, the
producer of the feeder hog gets the
long end of the raone^r, ds we in tha
com belt have (300 land high priced
labor and also feed the weather to
some extent.
'Another point which, if I lived in
the South’, would be occupying my
attention right now, is the demand
which will undoubtedly exist 4 for
brood sows in Europe at the close of
the war for from no other animal can
they get eatable meat and fat in
eight months. I see no reason why
the people of Georgia should not make
the com belt feel competition all the
way from the farrowing pen to the
block. So far as I can learn, your
cost of production all the way through
is much less than ours. - >•

the average cost of making this years

in excess of 35 cents.
Responsibility for the drop in the
cotton market was put upon the war

resolution is was demanded that the
